Kawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawaski name in the early sixties, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high-performance 2-stroke twins and triples. In the early ‘70s the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750 but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world.

This Z900A4 has been part of an enthusiast's private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes, so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not run for a number of years they have been carefully stored in a dry building, but will all need recommissioning before use. The bike is presented in good original condition, still fitted with a set of original 4 into 4 exhaust and is essentially in standard trim apart from a pair of Hagon rear shocks. Once recommissioned this trendsetting 1970s Superbike will make a very useable bike in modern-day road conditions that's still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
